Good morning! Up 'n' at 'em, VSC adjudicators! Let's finish the week strong with some March approvals! 빨리 빨리! ㅋㅋ

Wow, I go away to Vegas for a few days, and come back to see that March approvals are finally coming through! Good times.

I just spent 3 nights with Brian in Vegas... the trip was too short, in my opinion, but I'll take whatever I can get! I got to bond with my future sister and brother in law, so that was fun!

Hope you are all doing well and keeping your spirits high. Missy - hope you feel better soon!!!

Hello all,

I have been reading this thread for months and have finally decided to speak up. As if somehow keeping quiet meant that I could be patient... :-) My NOA1 date is 3/5/09. Seeing a 3/17 get their NOA2 makes me both happy and jealous -- I wish it really were first come first served! I can't decide whether to get my congressman involved after 5 months have passed, or 6 months...it will be 5 months in just a few days. I don't want to make things go slower...I imagine that getting politicians involved just causes things to move slower at VSC. Any thoughts? How long do you plan to wait before you get worried? After 5 months of being patient, at what point is it OK to be worried?

Hi Missing_Ron. Just my opinion here, but I plan on waiting until my case is clearly left behind and the majority of others are processed. These tend to be completed in batches and reports are that the adjudicators get them in "boxes" and that would explain why. So if whoever had the March 17 box worked from the top to the bottom of the box, the older one would be on top since it was put there last.

That said, I don't know that getting a congressman involved would slow things down. But from what I have read, it can often result in more frustration when they only get the standard response from USCIS - basically what you can read in the website. I might go off on someone if that happens. So for me, waiting until that amount of ranting is merited is what I plan on doing.

Hope you get yours soon and I think that's entirely possible.

I am at work now and just received an email from USCIS...We have received our approval. I just called Alicia and woke her up in the middle of the night to share the news...I am not cruel, I warned her no matter what time when I found out that she would be the first person I called.

Pop Pop Fizz Fizz Oh what a relief it is.

It appears that the March Petitions are starting to roll out...To my fellow March Petitioners......Soon and Very Soon.

I thank God for bringing Alica and I together and I give thanks to God for continuing to watch over the process.

That's great! When I get the news, Amy would kill me if I didn't wake her up. Congrats Karl and Alicia! Keep us updated on how things go from here.

Thanks, my gut tells me the same thing. I get annoyed when people whine that after waiting for 2-3 months they haven't heard anything. We all know that 5 months is the best we can hope for. So 6 is more realistic. I'll sit tight. I'm a bit worried that mine will take longer than usual because there is extra stuff in it. My attorney instructed us to include stuff we won't need til the interview in the original package -- only after we sent it did I find out through these forums that we didn't need that stuff right away. I'm particularly mad at her because she wouldn't file our petition until we had everything, and the police certificates took months to get. We could have filed back in October without them. So after waiting ages to file, now we have to get more police certificates because the ones in our package will be too old. And for this I paid THOUSANDS of dollars! I work for a non-profit, so you can imagine how upset I have been. Ron tell me not to worry, it's in the past...but I'm still annoyed. If I've learned anything from this process, it's to do my own research! Wow I've been waiting months to say that. It's good to vent to people who understand!

Karl,

I call Ron in the middle of the night at least four times a week just to say goodnight. I felt cruel for a while, but he kept asking that I do so -- since it's hard with our work schedules to touch base very often -- and when I do not, he says he wakes up in the morning sad that he didn't hear from me. I bet Alicia feels the same way.
